The Pelicans had 20 players after the addition of Nate Robinson, so it was just a matter of time for Jordan. He could be on some 10-day deals this season or head overseas. Fri, Oct 16, 2015 04:56:00 PM

The Pelicans will sign free agent center Jerome Jordan.

Jordan doesn't have a lot of experience in the NBA despite being 29 years old, and he posted averages of just 3.1 points and 2.4 boards in 44 appearances for the Nets last season. The Pelicans are struggling with injuries with Alexis Ajinca (hamstring) and Omer Asik (calf) both on the shelf, so Jordan will provide some emergency depth for now. Sat, Oct 10, 2015 12:14:00 PM

The Nets will not make a qualifying offer to Jerome Jordan, making him an unrestricted free agent this summer.

The Nets are simply looking to keep as much flexibility as possible, so this isn't surprising. Jordan could potentially return to Brooklyn, but he likely won't be a priority after averaging just 3.1 points and 2.4 boards in 44 regular-season appearances. Jordan isn't on the fantasy radar.

Depth Charts

No revenge game for Jrue against his former team. Holiday's turf toe injury can linger, so the Pelicans will play it safe. His injury history also may have factored into this because compensating could lead to another injury. With Jrue out, Tim Frazier should start while Langston Galloway gets additional run at the point. Buddy Hield should pick up extra minutes, as well.

That's his second straight DNP. With Moore out, Buddy Hield should get more run at shooting guard while Langston Galloway and Tim Frazier could run some two-guard combos. Plus, this should help Solomon Hill pick up extra run at the three to help offset the loss of wing depth.

Tyreke Evans (knee, calf) is expected to stay behind for the upcoming two-game road trip to rehab his calf injury, according ton Jen Hale of the Pelicans broadcast.

The good news is that his right knee is good to go. Evans is going to have a limit upon his return and he still doesn't have a target date. It may a month or so until we see Evans putting up noteworthy numbers, so he's not the greatest stash in shallower leagues. He's also very likely to rest on back-to-back sets for a long time.

Quincy Pondexter (knee surgeries) is still not close to getting back on the court.

"Quincy’s probably going to take a little bit longer than [Tyreke Evans to return]," Pelicans' GM Dell Demps said. "We’ll get a better determination on Quincy probably in about two weeks." With Evans' looking at a potential December return, it sounds like Pondexter might not get back to the court until sometime in January. He doesn't offer enough upside to warrant a hold in any setting.

Dante Cunningham (knee) has been diagnosed with a non-displaced right proximal fibula fracture and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.

The Pelicans said he wasn't expected to miss much time, but they didn't know Cunningham suffered a fracture from banging knees on Wednesday. Cunningham's playing time as a starter was trending up with around 30 minutes per game recently -- he does only have a 12.0 usage rate this year. While he was out on Wednesday, Solomon Hill started the second half and is likely to be starting going forward. They also used a lot of three-guard lineups with Jrue Holiday, Tim Frazier and Langston Galloway. Frazier should be owned in standard leagues, Galloway is a short-term pickup for 14-team leagues and Hill is worth a look for owners with something to cut in deeper leagues.
